OK I've had this weird thought that I should buy a VT/VX SS Commodore GenIII 6 speed. The reasons are I want something that I can tow a boat with next year when I buy one and something a little larger in size so I can seat more people.

I currently own an R33 GTST that I have had NO problems with at all. The only thing is the car will be 10 years old next year and as all cars this old it is showing its age.

Feel free to swing my decision away from the SS but keep in mind I want something NEW not pre 1997. Yes I could buy a 1991 R32 GTR :sly: but these cars are far too old. The engine will be tired and so will be the paint.

So basically I want something around the $25-28k, NEW, powerfull, towing capabilities and reliable.

HELP

Autech Stagea 260RS - no further discussion required :rolleyes:

fun for the WHOLE family! :)

Maybe not Autech, but possibly a Stagea.

oh and ur looking at figures of about 30% of GenIII's with mechanical problems, major problems.

Where are these statistics from?

10% of people know statistics 50% of statistics are made up on the spot :rolleyes:

Honestly, I don't think a VTii/VX SS is a bad idea.

for about $25-28k u can find yourself (well i have seen advertised) a nice R34 Gtt (stock Form) going for about 28-29K the year is a 98 model so its not that old if your worried about it depends what u want to use it for. For that price you have to have a decent look around but these are the prices they are starting to go for.

Id love an Autech Stagea too, its a pitty that they sell for more than R34 GTRs hey? If only i had a spare 100k lying around.

Im pretty sure there is only 1 Autech Stagea in Australia, the one that was in HPI a while back.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
